Belal on the Reason Behind ufc Reluctance to Pit Shavkat Against Kamaru Usman

[blaseblase]

Just going to ignore you. Such a toxic poster.

And you're a liar making up a fake narrative who can't handle being wrong.

The problem with saying this stuff is that if Shavkat wins, it's going to be hugely embarrassing for Belal.

Maybe wait until someone has beaten Shavkat before declaring "paths to victory" are obvious? Nobody else has found a path to victory against Shavkat and Shavkat has finished every fight. He's a very dangerous striker and has good grappling as well. Not an easy night out for anybody. If Belal doesn't take the fight seriously, he's going to lose badly and probably get the Jon Fitch treatment going forward

 

[SuperAlly]

Belal literally days after winning the title: I want to fight Shavkat. I won't be ready by October so probably in November or December.

Then a month later Shavkat is crying about Belal not accepting a fight in October? Get fucked. He's the champion, he called you out, and he told you specifically when he would be ready to fight.

He's also had multiple interviews or soundbites trying to match make Shavkat with other fighters nowhere near the title shot picture.

It's utterly ridiculous and patently false to pretend he hasn't.

 

[SuperAlly]

Belal is trying his absolute hardest to do anything but fight Shavkat. He’s trying to feed the next guy in line to an 0-3 guy, you can’t make this shit up lmao.

The strangest thing is we have at least 2 guys on here trying to pretend he hasn't clearly been trying to do this when it's clearly documented for the world to see in Belal's own words

It's funny too because Shavkat has only fought 3 times since June 2022, and hasn't fought since last December

Belal won't be ready until December. He made that very clear from the very beginning. Shavkat is the one crying about October so Belal in response suggested he face Usman.

Shavkat hasn't fought in a year, the idea that he can dictate when a title fight happens is ridiculous. This fake narrative you morons are spreading is hilarious considering Belal is literally still calling out Shavkat in the interview this thread is based on. But of course you didn't even bother watching it.

 

[Morning Star]

Leon sat out 14 months for his Title Shot, Belal sat out nearly 15 months for his, Shavkat hasn't fought in almost 9 months. So he's ahead of schedule from the last 2. Just looks desperate by Belal to keep mentioning Usman for his 1st title defense or to try and knock off Shavkat. Just book a date for end of the year and be done with it. He's a transitional champ.

 

[RockyLockridge]

He then proceeded to quickly decline a fight with Shavkat that was offered, weirdo.

Well, To be fair belal shouldn't have to fight in july then october. It's not fair to belal.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Why the fuck is he matchmaking the #1 contender? Say what you will about Izzy but he would had called Shavkat out while the goof was wrapping the belt around him.

Izzy fought every single person he was supposed to fight. the only person who really didn't deserve to fight izzy is poatan and izzy still took that fight because he knows how dangerous he was.

Izzy is still the gold standard for how a champion should manage their mma career.

and the 9 months wait wasn't even the plan for shavkat they wanted to do shavkat vs JDM in perth but JDM pulled out that's the only reason he hasn't fought yet.

Belal: “I’m willing to fight Shavkat”

Sherdogs biggest idiots: “Look he’s ducking!”

This might be worse than the guy a week or two ago who was upset that Belal didn’t have a fight booked despite winning the belt like a month before. I know you guys are still recovering from the beating he put on Leon but come on.

 

[octagonation]

It´s gonna be crazy ass fight belal knows this and he is talking nonsense for wolf tickets but he knows Shavkat is gonna bring it and the best version of himself.

Shavkat is younger then Usman and will not fatigue and go all night plus is much more dangerous standing

Leon had to wait for Masvidal and Colby to get unearned title shots. Belal had to wait for Colby to get yet another unearned title shot. At least those two actually earned title shots, Shavkat hasnt beaten anyone but Belal is still willing to fight him. Just not in October, which would be a ridiculous 3 month turnaround.

Ok, so then why is he putting so much time and effort into making the case for a #1 contender fight first? Hmmmmmm?

And? Still sat out much longer. Maybe he should shut his mouth about Usman who isn't deserving whatsoever of a title shot being 0-3 and commit to a date later this year against the best like he said he will.

 

[TaxCutz]

Belal pulling the old taqiyya card.

He's scared of Shavkat.

I don’t even see anywhere in that article where he says that Usman and Shavkat should fight. He just says that if they did Usman would win, I don’t agree with that but the guy is entitled to his opinion. I do, however, see where he says he would gladly fight Shavkat because he feels it’s an easier fight for him but for whatever reason you guys completely ignored that part.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Belal tries to play games as champ just because of how much they fucked him around when he was clearly the most deserving of a TS but I don’t expect him to duck anyone.

I'm not just talking about that quote. He's straight up called for a #1 contender fight multiple times.

For example:

Belal Muhammad wants Shavkat Rakhmonov vs. Kamaru Usman to 'find the real number one contender'

Newly crowned UFC welterweight champ Belal Muhammad wants to see a No. 1 contender fight booked.

"I think Shavkat and Usman should fight to find the real number one contender."

Ah yes, the famously popular Sherdog darling Leon.

Brady VS Usman (JDMs arm is still in a cast)

Shavkat VS Belal
